How does this pole sit in the ground? How deep do you have to dig and and how high does the top of the pole then sit?

You can put it as deep as you need for your particular situation. It is just a pole. You could also attach it to something with a clamp.

The description at the Amazon site is accurate. There is a sleeve that you put in the ground by digging a hole and then packing the earth around it.The pole fits into the sleeve. The pole is 7 ft. long. About 1 ft goes into the sleeve in the ground. The top of the pole is about 6 ft. off the ground. When you hang something from it, as I hung a hummingbird feeded, it hangs down to about 5 ft. off the ground.

You could dig down. It comes with no stakes. I wanted to set it over my existing well head for the house, so I actually built up a base with pavers for the wishing well to sit on. I have not had a problem with it trying to blow away.

The hollow steel pole bottom is cut on a bias so you push it into the ground, maybe dig a little lead hole for it with a big screwdriver first. Once it is in ground, remember it will be 6 inches or so shorter than spec height. They look and work pretty well for me.

You will need to provide some sort of weighted base. I put mine into the ground using a cement base. I dug a hole about 2 feet deep and about 1 foot in diameter then set the sleeve in the cement. Seems to work fine this way.

It is taken just at the bottom. There is a notch 2 inches from the tip of the probe that indicates how far to insert it into the soil.

Mine sits under tabled so I have very little water accumulation, recesses are shallow and would sun dry quickly. Being a cast stone you could drill but be carful of cracking while drilling. If water collection may be a problem I would suggest grinding a drain groove into top edge to allow drainage. Checking mine the recessed area holds less than 2 cups of water. pole support already has bottom drains. I hope this info helps

I have mine installed in the dirt of a large planter with a bush in it. the pole comes in sections so I suspect if you want to put it in the ground you just take the bottom section, pound it into the ground and the add the other pole sections.

You can either dig a small hole about 18 inches deep and bury it or as we did, you can just hammer it in with a rubber mallot. If you hammer it in place something like a chunk of wood over the spike so you don't damage it.

My husband and I used a sidewalk edger to dig the trench and laid the wire in and covered back up with that dirt. It actually didn't take that long. I was the one on my knees laying wire and covering up while he ran the edger. It won't take long for the grass to grow over it and you won't be able to see where you dug. It doesn't have to be deep. About 1/2 inch to 1 inch deep is enough. I hope I helped you! Good luck! You won't regret buying this. When you get back to the controller, be sure to loop the beginning and end of wires together. This allows your dog to have a full circle of yard to run and play. My husband and I used a sidewalk edger to dig the trench and laid the wire in and covered back up with that dirt.

You have to install a tube for the pole to be inserted into (below ground or floor level). It comes with what they call a "ground spear" which is hammered into the soil. I put a block of wood on top of mine and really worked to drive it into the soil. Pretty tough chore. I think if you wanted to use it on your deck you would need get a tube made up and mount the tube assembly below the deck surface so no one would trip.Sean

It says insert into the soil 2 inches. It's marked on the shaft but I have pushed it down 3 inches. You shouldn't have any problems taking temps 2-3 inches deep.

I put some decorative pavers at the base.There is still a little play in the pole,but it has stood up to very windy conditions and moves beautifully I did this because I placed it on a high soil mound and the soil is very loose

I purchased the in-ground sleeve. That gets cemented into the ground. I made sure that was plum and level when I set it in the concrete. The pole then gets inserted into it. I chose the sleeve because now if I ever moved I could take the system with me ( minus the sleeve cemented in the ground ).

If ground is three feet above the playing surface and you want to be able to lower it down to 7.5 feet you will need to dig down the extra three feet to get the anchor level to the playing surface. And your first three feet of pole will be buried. If you need more help feel free to call me 317-773-3534.

Measuring from the base part that sits on the wood you have 4-5 inches of depth for soil. 5 inches would take you almost to the top. I have mine at 4" to keep water from spilling over. The sides go deeper but are thin. These are the best deck boxes I've used so far. They are very sturdy in windy conditions without having to screw them to the wood. Good Luck! :)

I'm using mine in very sandy soil; and it has a tendency to dig in to axle depth, no matter what setting, if I don't take care. That said, on the shallowest setting I can, with caution, hold it to about an inch...
